Ballet Is My Ex

Hi I’m Mari 🙋🏻‍♀️ ballet is my ex… and we’re back together.

I’m a former professional ballerina in her 40’s struggling to passé again. Here you’ll find honest field notes from classes and intensives, shopping hauls and gear actually worth buying, and the very specific absurdities of choosing ballet as our idea of fun.

Whether you never left ballet, came back after years away, or just took your first class, I'm so glad you're here.

Grab your coffee. Put your hair up. I'll save you a place at the barre.

Mari 🖤
